Is it possible to import Rumoquin from outside the United States? I think it's over the counter, just not out here. Worked really great for me when I needed it during a trip. I just wonder if customs allows you to bring back medication for personal use? ## Hello, Mere! How are you? If you are taking something, or it is prescribed for you, while visiting another country, you can bring back up to a 3 month supply with you. However, since the FDA doesn't like these combinations, so it's not approved here, you wouldn't be able to just import it or anything. It is listed as containing the NSAID Diclofenac; the steroid Dexamethasone and the muscle relaxant Methocarbamol. Its typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, nervousness, insomnia, acne...

My dr. says you cant get subutex in CANADA,not in CANADA and that sucks, I WANT SUBUTEX and xyrem too, lol! CANADA SUCKS! Yet i hear someone say under the worst conditions. No one seems to know the answer for this and i am having reactions to naloxone. We have the Bupe patch, but i dont know if that will replace suboxone! I hope Canada gets it! ## Hello, When you say Bupe patch, are you referring to Buprenorphine? If so, Subutex contains Buprenorphine so I imagine that they should work in similar ways. I've taken vitamin B12 patches and I could tell that the vitamin was much more effective as a patch vs a pill. Hopefully that will be the case with your "Bupe" patches! I'm not sure as to why Subutex isn't available in Canada though, does anyone else have any informati...

I bought "drixoral" from Canada and it came in a box of 10 pills made by Schering-Plough with the name Disophrol Repetabs on it. I bought them for my husband and he says they work great. ## Did you order them from a pharmacy online or go right to Canada ## Hi Max, Based on my research, Schering-Plough Corporation was actually merged with Merck quite some time ago; I think back in 2009 as one article states. So I don't know if that could've been an older batch of Drixoral (Disophrol Repetabs) your husband received from Canada (prior to the Schering-Plough Merck merger), but none-the-less, it's good to hear that he's is doing well on it. How long has he been taking them for?

My father is treated for a metastatic colorectal cancer since two years and now he is resistant to all therapeutic, his disease is evolutionary, the last treatment required is Stivarga. In my country this drug is not available. Can anyone help me to find this drug. It's urgent. Tank you.

Can any of you who have received their Drixoral from Canada share the time they waited for delivery, which pharmacy they used and the cost. This would be very helpful. Thanks. ## I ordered Drixoral from Canada Tuesday, July 8. I received it Monday, July 14. Works great. I just wish it was made by someone else other than Schering Plough. I don't want to support a company (in ANY way) that could be so callous and mean to it's own customers. ## It has to do with business practices, not being mean to their customers! Drixoral contains Pseudoephedrine, which is used to make Meth. To cut down on people buying it in unlimited quantities, there types of medication have been moved behind the counter at US pharmacies and the amount you can purchase at once has been limited. In order to ke...

my dr prescibed oxymorphone er 60 mg. and oxymorphone ir 5 mg. I was able to purchase the ir tablets in generic (but they cost about 50.00 more than the oxycodone ir 20 mg. that I was taking before he switched my meds) I was not able to get the oxymorphone er 60 mg. in generic form. Are these manufactured in the U.S (2014)? The brand name was Opana, which ended up costing me around 450.00 for 60 pills. This is OUTRAGEOUS!! I am a woman, of only 58 yrs.old. I'm on disibility from back injuries from about 20-25 yrs. ago and I also have C.O.P.D.

I have ben using Paregoric for years abd it was taken off the American Market . I still am in need as it is the only thing that helps me. Where can I purchase it in Canada ## From what I could gather, The manufacturer "Ranbaxy" of India is the only source for this tincture of opium, but please correct me if I'm wrong. As another possible solution here in the U.S., there are specialized pharmacists called "compounding pharmacists" who know how to make things of this nature. If you have such a company in your area, I'd think it would be very simple for them to compound "tincture of opium" by merely diluting ordinary liquid morphine sulfate to the strength of the prepared tincture. Keep in mind that you'll want to make sure you find legal and legitimate ...

Can you go to Canada and get a perscription for pain medication? ## Hi Red, If you go to Canada in person to make your purchase, in general, be aware of the illegal nature of what you are doing (there are laws that prohibit "personal importation;" that is, Americans purchasing drugs from Canadian, Mexican or other pharmacies and bringing them into the United States). However, as long as you stick to the FDA's and U.S. Customs' parameters, you should be able to get a prescription there to purchase medication at a Canadian drug store and not risk problems. To remain on the safe side, I'd just be sure to take along an extra copy of the prescription to show Customs when you return to the United States. I hope this helps to answer your question!

I just got a batch of Oxycodone HCL(generic oxycontin) in Ontario Canada and they do not seem to come even close to the original oxycontin.What's going on?I was told by my pharmasist that the ingredients are the same-I used to take 4 80's a year ago and that relieved my pain-Now I am doing 6 80's and it doesn't seem to be close to what they used to be.Is it a matter of getting used to them or what ?help Pls-still in agony Does anyone have a real answer rather than opinions? ## There is a level of allowable fluctuation in generics in both the U.S. and Canada, so you may not be getting quite the same amount of Oxycodone as you were before. Learn more Oxycodone details here. You might want to discuss upping your dosage, if necessary. It's also possible that you've j...

is there a canadian savings card for crestor like they have in the states they offer a 50.00 dollar savings so a person only has to pay about 18.00 ## In the U.S. a prescription for Crestor actually starts at around $155 USD, so they actually still end up paying over $100 if they don't have insurance. Drugs here are nowhere near as cheap as they are in Canada. And no, I'm sorry, but the only savings card I can find is only good in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Have you tried asking your doctor if there is a generic alternative that you can use?

Can You Buy Arthri-d in Canada ## Unfortunately, I really don't know. From what I understand, it is advertised there, so I assume you can order it, however, you would need to call them to find out for sure. Does anyone else have information on this?

Drixoral can be obtained from Canada. I've also found a generic version for less money, but wouldn't necessarily recommend it ... my shipment of the generic stuff was shipped DIRECT from TURKEY ... the only English on the package was the the sticker with the pharmacist's info and my info. ## I've ordered Drixoral through the internet and been happy. They have the generic version available but they note that it is NOT made by the same manufacturer as the Real Drixoral. ## I've bought the same Disophrol pills from Northwest and they are made by the same manufacturer - Schering-Plough. ## I have read your message about buying a drug from Turkey, it has been two years but I would be very happy if you could give me the name of the pharmacy that has sent you the drug.Thank...

I would like to know if it is possible for someone who has a prescription (and other documentation from a physician) to purchase Marinol at a Canadian pharmacy and also how much does a prescription cost (on average) in Canada? This in important information for a friend and I appreciate any and all information, thank you. ## Hello, David! How are you? I'm sorry, but I don't have any pricing information. And no, if a medication is available in the U.S., under the law it must be obtained here, unless you were traveling at the time it was prescribed and had to get it filled where you were located. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi and thanks for your response. My friend had to go to some sort of arbitration between a judge and not sure if the other party was medical. In ...

I'm not sure if anyone else is having trouble paying for their Ozempic in the US. My health insurance decided to eliminate it from my coverage last month and my pharmacy in Flagstaff was quoting me $800+. Saw some chatter about filling my prescription from Canada and I decided to give it a try with insulin outlet. I thought I would have trouble but it saved a lot of money. If anyone is having the same problem, I hope this info helps. ## I am Type II diabetic & have Medicare part D through CIGNA. Cigna denied Ozempic. Novo (maker of Ozempic) has a patient assistance program called PAP & they approved it & the med gets shipped directly to my physicians office. Might look into that

changing from Methadone for pain to Suboxone for pain. Pain clinc is trying to pass the buck, I cant find a GP in or around the Trenton Ontario area to prescribe. I have been taken 150 mg pill form for 6 years works good. But moved pain clinc is in Oakville Ontario usually pain clinc wants your GP to take over prescribing but most GPs are nervous because they have to get a section 56 Methadone exemption. Canadian government needs to make it easier to get, would help out a lot of people. Try going to a Addiction centre just to get Medication closer to home. But those places are very very degrading they treat you like a criminal must pee in cup in front of them very week sometimes more. Also dirty place ect.
